The love triangle is perhaps exactly what we have been lacking lately on domestic television. Among the many melodramatic series, Stanislav Nazirov’s work is favorably distinguished by a certain ease of color and intonation play, plot twists and sounds of musical accompaniment, and a laid-back realistic play of leading actors.

Film critics were more restrained in evaluating the new domestic project. According to their authoritative opinion, the author’s attempt to combine romantic-sentimental and criminal themes in one story is unsuccessful. In their reviews of "Can I hug you?" attention is focused on the fact that crime is not very compatible with the love line: the action-packed past of the protagonist does not emphasize, but dulls the romantic mood of the main story.
Plot
One of the main heroines of the series is the gold medalist Anna Anisimova (Maya Gorban), who failed the entrance examinations to the university because of the quibbles of the examiner.

Acting Ensemble
Despite the rich palette of emotions expressed by the audience in the reviews on “Can I hug you?”, They are unanimous in assessing the professionalism of the performers involved in the creation of the series. The cast is really great. Maya Gorban is little known, but extremely attractive and uniquely talented. The girl did a great job with her role. Both ages of her heroine (a 17-year-old girl and a 30-year-old woman) are played by her realistically and deeply. The image embodied by Evgeny Shirikov is solid and strong. Ekaterina Rednikova, undoubtedly, succeeded in the role of an eccentric, selfish and overly emotional person. Elena Tsyplakova is harmonious in the image of a grandmother wise in life experience.
In general, it’s easy to agree with some reviews of “Can I Hug You?”, Which they call the series a small masterpiece, perceived like an old, classic melodrama from the time of the USSR.
